GADSDEN, Alabama --- Gadsden Police Chief John Crane said today that his department is investigating a Sunday night fatal accident which ended a two-county law enforcement chase.

Crane said the "investigation is ongoing" and would not give any further details.

On Sunday, 26-year-old Otis Jamaar Adams of Gadsden was killed in an accident on East Meighan Boulevard when witnesses said his motorcycle ran a red light at North Third Street and struck a vehicle attempting to turn.

Calhoun County authorities said deputies attempted a traffic stop for speeding on Adams near the Etowah County line, and he sped away. Glencoe police later took up the chase as Adams crossed over into Etowah County, and Adams continued down U.S. 431 until he was struck in Gadsden, police said.

He was pronounced dead later after being carried to Gadsden Regional Medical Center, police said.

At Monday's Gadsden City Council meeting, Councilman Billy Harris urged the department to look into the incident.
